Harrison Ford Says Avoiding Marvel Roles Is ‘Silly’ When MCU Films Provide ‘Good Experiences for an Audience,’ Calls the Death of Movie Stars ‘Rubbish’

“I mean, this is the Marvel universe and I’m just there on a weekend pass. I’m a sailor new to this town,” Ford said about his MCU debut. “I understand the appeal of other kinds of films besides the kind we made in the ’80s and ’90s. I don’t have anything general to say about it. It’s the condition our condition is in, and things change and morph and go on. We’re silly if we sit around regretting the change and don’t participate. I’m participating in a new part of the business that, for me at least, I think is really producing some good experiences for an audience. I enjoy that.”
“I don’t think the question is whether or not there are any movie stars. There’s wonderful actors coming up every day,” Ford told GQ. “Whether or not they become movie stars is really not the point. If movies need stars, they will find them. I’ve never fucking understood being a movie star. I’m an actor. I tell stories. I’m part of a group of people who work together, collaborate on telling stories. I’m an assistant storyteller. That’s what I am.”
Nope. We're just bored of the same movie coming out 7 times a year.
The two Doctor Strange movies are both wildly unique and wouldn't have happened without the MCU.
Captain America The Winter Soldier is one of the best action movies, period.
Sorry, once you make dozens of a certain type of movie I can't keep watching them in case one is unique. Then even if I wanted to, I'd be missing like 10 movies needed for the context.
Oh no! If only you had some bodily autonomy and could base your choice of which movies to watch on individual films instead of following trends
This is the MCU. The writers expect you to watch most of them and the tv series that are behind Disney+.
Same movie? Really? I'd love your example on how all these movies are "the same". They all have a beginning, middle and end? You're telling me Deadpool was the exact same as captain Marvel?
I'm telling you that despite the differences they bore me and feel too formulaic. So I stopped watching most of them years ago
